From this they were driven by scalding
water poured by the women. An inspector
mounted q ladder placed against the house
and with drawn sword tried TO drive the
women away, but he was ignomiiously de-
feated and driven down. A. constable with
fixed bayonet then attempted the same
feat. His head was badly battered and he
was scalded, but in defending himself he
inflicted several severe gasheg upon his
assailants. Another constable also filled
to dislodge the women. Another
ladder was procured, and one after

member Of Parliament, then tried TO
climb the ladder and speak TO the inmates,
but tho police pulled him down. Finally a

and after a struggle, in which the officer
was nearly killed, he was pitched out
The parish priest then entered, and fear

measures, induced the tenants TO give up.
The eviction was then accomplished and

EvtNsviLLE, ISt., June i9.@At an sariy
hour this iiothiiig al enormous meteoric
stone dashed into the edrth Hear this city.
The point where it fell is about nine milss
from this city, in wooded tract near the
village Of st. Joseph, this county. 1t was
little past seven o'clock when the resi-
dents Of that vicinity heard a sharp, whip
like crack, simultaneous with slight
cAflh trei1of. IL WAS at once
concluded By sIi that IL was
another earthquake, With which this sec
tion OF the country has been repeatedly
visited during the past several months
Itwas two hours afterward before the
real truth was discovered through the re-
port Of yohRg furmer who had found
large tree mutilated as though n had b-en
struck by lightning, and hole Of enor-
nous dimensions made near its foot.
Several fragments of sulphur-smelling
stone were scattered about the
mysterious orifce, and a strong

place. 1t was soon determined eoncu-
sively that it was ali aerolite OF great di-
menslons and had buried itself in the
earth to the depth of twelveor fifteen feet.
The projectiie had evidently descended in
a slightly slantihg1 course, judging from
where it had struck the tree and the point
where. II had imbedded itself in the
ground Several fragments Of aerolite
were gathered and will be brought TO this
city, where they will be examined by
some of our local amateur geologists. Eff
forts to reach the stone were uIavailing

IDENTIFY one of the largest erolites that
ever penetrated our atmosphere, and can
not weigh less than two tons. The sharp
report heard at the time it fell was no
doubt concussion of air and its
contact with the tree. Efforts will
be made at once to secure the erelite,
and the pieces already gathered will
be sent TO the Smithsonian Institute.
The particles of sulphur-smelling stone
are declared to be an admixture Of obsid-
ian and tractyte, Of duh grayish and dark
colors. II is a wonder that even these par
ticles were broken of after the aerolite
had resisted the great force which had
propelled it from its home in the spheres
and holding itself intact until reaching our
